DECLAMATION. 


Hail,  foamy  ocean !    Hail,  thou  dark  Atlantic ! 
Thou,  so  long  involved  in  mystery  gigantic, 

Shalt  now  unveiled  be ; 
Columbus  has  devined  those  magic  islands. 
Those  streams  and  desert  lands,  those   un-kissed  highlands, 

Beyond  thy  immensity. 

Behold,  a  hero  braves  thee  mighty  ocean ! 
In  vain,  for  him,  is  all  thy  wild  commotion, — 

Thy  frown  as  nothing  seems; 
Already  views  he,  in  the  far-olT  distance. 
Those  flowery  fields,  that  world  of  blest  existence 

That  erst  have  charm'd  his  dreams.

MONOLOGUE  OP  COLUMBUS. 

COLUMBUS  (recitative.) 

Yes,  Columbus  responds.  All  hail  ye  mystic  spirits, 
Whose  voices  heard  I  oft  in  my  dreams,  long  ago! 

The  ocean  lends  to  you  its  most  enchanting  accents, 

Behold  me!  now  I  heed  that  voice  that  whispers  "go. 

ARIA. 

The  breeze  that  gently  rises 

Upon  the  oce.^n  deep, 
Our  vessel's  prow  surprises 

And  wakes  her  from  her  sleep. 
We  go,  the  heavens  ordaining, 

To  breast  an  untrod  sea, 
A  nation's  praise  obtaining, 

And  immortality. 


i 


There  is  a  land  worth  knowing, 
With  gold  all  brightly  glowing, 
In  mystic  rivers  flowing. 

Friends,  let's  hasten  there! 
There  the  choicest  flowers, 
Clustered  in  shady  bowers. 
Watered  by  crystal  showers, 

Perfume  the  balmy  air.

THE   FAREWELL. 

DECLAMATION. 

While  th&  sailors  alert  and  yearning  for  the  wave, 
Enliven  the  air  around  with  joyous  cries, 

The  women  on  the  shore,  profound  and  grave, 
Upon  the  treacherous  ocean  fix  their  eyes. 

(OBCHESTKA.) 

The  young  betrothed  rushing  to  the  shore, 

Whereon  the  playful  waves  in  foam  expire, 

Lest  on  her  lover's  face  she  gaze  no  more. 
Receives  the  last  fond  tribute  of  love's  fire.

Farewell,  beloved. 

Farewell  to  thee, 
Though  far  removed, 

Oh,  constant  be! 
Though  far  removed. 

Oh,  constant  be! 
When  in  the  distance. 
Where  my  existence, 
Charmed  by  thine  image  will  be  blest. 
Love,  though  I  wander. 
Still  growing  fonder; 
Riches  I'll  bring  thee  from  the  far  West.

To  the  great  lords  and  grandees  Of  Spain;

FERNANDO   AND   ELVIRA. 


Some  day  together, 

On  the  green  heather, 
We  will  be  seated  as  of  yore; 

At  the  still  hours,  love. 

When  thro'  the  bowers,  love, 
Softly  the  zephyr  steals  from  the  shore. 

Yes,  by  yon  ocean, 

Whose  plaintive  motion 
Bears  on  its  bosom  soft  farewells  of  love. 

Yon  Moorish  tower,  dear. 

Will  sound  the  hour,  dear. 
When  thou,  returning,  thy  faith  shall  prove. 


ELVIRA. 

Farewell,  oh  dearest, 
Farewell  to  thee; 

To  love  and  country, 
Oh,  constant  be!

Oh,  constant  be!

SONG   OF  THE  CABIN   BOY. 

My  home  is  on  the  ocean  wave, 

Disturb'd  by  every  wind. 
'Tis  there  I  spend  my  lifetime  now, 
A  grave  at  last  to  find. 
Go,  thou  poor  lone  one,  go  breast  the  stormy  sea! 
Earth  may  have  pleasures,  but  not,  alas!  for  thee. 

Ah !  life  is  full  of  bitterness 

Where  dwells  the  orphan  child. 
On  whom  a  mother's  tenderness, 
Alas!  has  seldom  smiled. 
Go,  then,  poor  lone  one,  go  roam  a  stormy  sea! 
Earth  has  its  pleasures,  but  not,  alas !  for  thee. 

(mysterious  chorus  of  the  ocean  sprites.) 
Oh!    Oh! 

CHORUS    OF    SAILORS. 

Beneath  the  waves  of  ocean 
Sing  the  syrens  in  devotion — 

How  still  the  air  around! 
The  choirs,  revolving  o'er  us, 
Unite  with  the  ocean  chorus. 

And  we  list  in  rapture  bound.

See  the  moon,  a  still  watch  keeping 
O'er  the  waves  in  calm  peace  sleeping. 

Pale  white  queen  of  night! 
And  the  stars,  from  the  azure  peeping, 

Shine  in  silver  light. 

All  hail,  ye  mystic  sprites  of  ocean ! 
In  your  songs  so  full  of  devotion, 
To  lutes  divine  that  sound  above. 
Unite  your  mellow  strains  of  love; 
Sing  on!  your  concert  sweetly  sounding 
Charms  the  stillness  ever  abounding; 
Echoes  from  the  skies  and  seas. 
Repeat  enchanting  harmonies.

Lived  a  maid  fair  to  see 
And  her  name  was  Marie,

Than  a  jewel  more  rare 
Did  this  maiden  appear,

Where  I  so  loved  to  be,

For,  no  power  can  control  me 

Like  those  sweet  songs  of  Spain.

How  sweet  to  glide 

O'er  the  ocean  wide, 
With  the  azure  sky  above  us; 

And  gaily  drain 

The  wine  of  Spain 
To  the  maids  who  dearly  love  us. 

This  cup,  that  now  we  drain, 
Ignites  an  inward  fever, 
And  keeps  above  us  ever, 

The  deep  blue  sky  of  Spain. 

Whate'er  our  sorrows  be, 

'Tis  wine  will  make  them  leave  us, 
And  never  will  deceive  us.

Let's  turn  once  more

To  our  sun-kissed  hills  and  fountains,

THE   REVOLT— A  DEAD   CALM. 

(orchestra.) 

DECI..\IVlATION. 

A  calm  like  death,  a  silence  solemn  and  deep 
Surrounds  the  ship;  the  winds  and  waters  sleep; 

Soon  breaks  upon  their  eyes 
The  broad  horizon  of  the  Torrid  Zone — 
Desert  of  sapphire  where  water  nymphs  intone 

Their  mystic  lullabies. 
Where  the  lone  pilot  views,  'mid  boundless  space, 
The  solitary  sun  its  pathway  trace 

Between  the  sea  and  skies. 

'Twould  seem  as  if  the  ocean  molten  were, 
Beneath  a  sky  of  brass  whose  fiery  glare 

Ur-ians  the  stoutest  heart. 
They  yield  all  hope  of  promised  land  at  last; 
The  si  -.kened  sail  hangs  drooping  from  the  mast, 

biimov'd  by  friendly  breath. 
They  view,  in  tears,  their  ship — a  funeral  pyre. 
Stand  like  an  isle  encircled  'round  by  fire, 

All  rescue  mocked  bv  death.

COLUMBUS   AND  SAILORS. 


CliOKUM. 


Be  alive!  come,  let  us  be  going, 

Our  noble  ship  is  like  a  tomb. 
The  wind  is  dead ;  let's  take  to  rowing, 

And  on  some  rock  let's  seek  our  doom. 

Behold  from  the  heavens  descending— 
Lo!  a  veil  of  lead  hides  the  sea, 

And  God,  displeased  at  thy  offending, 
Sends  his  curse,  Columbus,  on  thee. 

COLUMBUS— (recitative.) 

Oh,  see  how  slight  a  check  shakes  your  courage,  you  falter. 
You  who  have  pledged  to  me  such  an  ardent  support! 

Yes,  you  who  fondly  vow'd  no  power  your  faith  could  alter- 
That  death  for  my  sake  you  would  court. 

AIR. 

'Tis  a  day  of  delight,  sing  in  chorus — 
Rejoice,  the  day  brings  glad  surprise! 

See,  resplendant  the  sun  hovers  o'er  us. 
And  the  waves  glisten  on  our  eyes; 

And  calmly  our  vessel  reposes, 

The  better  to  view  the  seas  and  skies.

CIIOBUS. 

Show  now,  those  promised  groves  of  pleasure 
With  vines  o'erhung,  those  friendly  skies, 

Those  isles  of  flowers  and  of  treasure, 

Columbus'  to  save  thyself,  bid  them  arise. 

God  doth  demand  thee  for  a  victim — 
He  speaks  thy  doom,  attention  give. 

Here  let  thy  grave  be.     Why  afflict  Him  ? 
Oh,  perish  thou,  that  we  may  live! 

COLUMBUS. 

Patient  be  for  the  new  day  breaking, 
God  your  faithful  guide  shall  be; 

Friends,  your  souls  to  prayer  be  waking — 
He  will  bear  you  safe  o'er  the  sea; 

To-day,  alas!  your  hearts  are  aching, 
To-morrow  you'll  sing  triun)phantly. 

Behold,  e'en  now,  the  waves  in  motion, 
And  a  thousand  hues  tint  the  seas; 

The  sky — it  smiles  at  your  commotion. 
And  bids  your  sad  hearts  be  at  ease; 

While  soft  the  breeze  bears  o'er  the  ocean. 
Odors  sweet  of  flowers  and  trees.

CHORUS. 

Honor  to  thee,  oh  Chief!  be  given, 
Glory  to  God  who  reigns  in  Heaven ! 

He  points  the  path  and  we  obey. 
The  canvas  swells,  oh  sight  entrancing! 
Proud  Castile's  old  flag  advancing, 

Cries  from  the  mast-head:  "Speed  away!"

THE  KEW  WORLD. 

(orchestra.) 

DECIiAMATION. 

At  length,  the  sailor,  gazing  o'er  seas  away. 
Beholds  the  new  world  dawning  with  the  day. 

With  welcome  song  of  bird  it  steals  to  view; 
Its  odorous  palms  spread  out  their  welcomi-^g  arms. 
The  old  world's  sun,  with  all  its  wonted  charms. 

Rises  in  golden  splendor  o'er  the  new. 
(symphony.) 

CHORUS. 

Land  ho!     Oh,  can  it  be! 

Behold  the  new  world  rising, 

In  beauty  all  surprising. 
From  out  the  Western  sea.

DANCE  OF  THE  SAVAGES. 

(orchestra.) 

CHORUS    OF    SAVAGES. 

Deck'd  in  the  gayest  feather, 

Bright  with  thousand  hues, 
Dance  we  upon  the  heather. 

Sparkling  o'er  with  dews. 
Greeting,  with  early  morning. 

Woods  that  we  love  so  well. 
And  the  bright  sun  adorning 

Mountain  and  stream  and  dell. 


Launch  the  Piroga  yonder 

On  the  water's  breast. 
Near  the  banks  to  wander, 

'Mid  the  reeds  to  rest. 
While  from  our  loving  vision 

Fade  the  wigwam  fires. 
Seek  we  the  land  Elysian, 

Cherished  by  our  sires. 

Hark,  to  the  sound  that  follows, 

Soft  and  far  away! 
These  are  the  gentle  swallows, 

Lightning's  daughters  they,

Oh,  may  the  gentle  zephyr 
Waft  us  o'er  the  tide, 

Off  to  the  shores  where  ever 
Happy  those  birds  abide! 

THE   INDIAN   MOTHER. 
ELKGY. 

There  on  the  lone  tree  yonder. 
Which  lends  its  mystic  wonder 
To  thy  lone  cradle  wild, 
Sleep  peacefully,  my  child. 
Thy  mother  watches  o'er  thee. 

See  how  the  swallow  sprightly. 
Touching  the  heather  lightly. 

Doth  kiss  thy  forehead  mild. 

Sleep  thou,  in  peace,  my  child, 
Thy  mother  watches  o'er  thee. 

Sweet,  sweet,  oh,  flower  so  tender! 
Thy  life,  how  brief  its  splendor! 

Earth  scarcely  on  thee  smiled. 

Sleep  on,  in  ^eace,  my  child, 
Thy  mother  watches  o'er  thee.

THE  LANDING. 

COLUMBUS    (recitative.) 

There  it  lies,  see  before  you! 
That  land  to  which  undaunted  courage  bore  you. 
Friends,  ever  true, 
It  belongs  nov^  to  you. 
Behold!  at  last  success  has  nobly  crowned  us. 

Ah,  see  these  friendly  tribes  that  mingle  in  our  fold; 
RespecUheir  rights,  let  joy  and  peace  surroOnd  us. 
In  their  sombre  woods  let  them  dwell  as  of  old. 
That  they  may  ne'er  forget,— true  brothers  they  have  found  us. 


FINAI^    CHORUS. 

To  thy  immortal  name, 

O  Chief!  we  homage  render; 
Eternal  be  thy  fame ! 

For,  a  kingdom  of  splendor. 
Thy  renown  shall  proclaim.
